What We Believe & Our Ministries
GOD
As a church family, we share core beliefs that form the foundation for our identity as a group of believers. We believe that there is one eternal, almighty God who created the universe and continues to sustain His creation.
(Deuteronomy 6:4 | Genesis 1-2)
JESUS
God sent His only Son, Jesus Christ, into the world to live as a man and die on a cross as the perfect sacrifice for our sins. Jesus rose to life again on the third day, ascended back into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God. He destroyed death and we await His return to bring the final victory over sin and death so we can live with Him eternally.
(John 3:16-17 | 1 Corinthians 15:3-4, 26 | Ephesians 1:20)
HOLY SPIRIT
Until Jesus returns, He has given all those who believe and have been baptized in water the Holy Spirit, as a helper and a pledge of the inheritance that awaits us.
(Acts 2:38 | Ephesians 1:13-14)
SCRIPTURE
We believe the Bible is the inspired word of God and it contains all the instruction we need for righteous living in this world.
(2 Timothy 3:16-17)
SALVATION
In the Bible we find God’s redeeming plan of salvation in which sinners are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. Saving faith involves turning from sin, confessing belief in Jesus Christ as God’s Son, and immersion in water for the forgiveness of sins.
(Ephesians 2:8-9 | Romans 10:9-10 | Acts 2:38 | Romans 6:1-7)
WORSHIP
In the Bible we also find the expressions of acceptable worship to God. Each Sunday, we worship God by:
- Praying together (Acts 2:42)
- Singing a capella (Ephesians 5:19 | 1 Corinthians 14:15)
- Preaching God’s Word (Acts 2:42)
- Sharing communion in the Lord’s Supper (Acts 20:7)
- Giving of our financial means (1 Corinthians 16:1-2)
PURPOSE
Our ultimate goal is to glorify God in everything we do.
(1 Corinthians 10:31)
MINISTRIES
Missions
Uganda
We have partnered with a congregation in TN and send funds quarterly to help support work being done for Christ in Uganda.
Cuba
We send funds monthly to a congregation in TN to support a church in Cuba.
Disaster Response
We have a disaster response room where we continually collect donations of items needed when disasters strike. We coordinate transportation of these donations to get where they are needed. We have helped communities during tornadoes, flooding, etc.
Brookside Elementary School
We have adopted the Brookside Elementary School right here in Nicholasville! We partner with them to feed hungry children on the weekends by providing food bags for the kids to take home on Friday. We also provide the teachers and staff with meals and snacks throughout the year as well as participate in a mentor program. This has truly blessed both our church and Brookside!
One of the most popular services we have for our youth is the Lads 2 Leaders/Leaderettes program. L2L is the oldest and largest leadership training program used by the churches of Christ today. Their mission has always been to develop youth into Christian leaders and they do so by teaching students to do “Bible things in Bible ways”. You can learn more about this program here.
